Artist: The Convocation Of...
Out of the ashes of the legendary late-'80s post-hardcore band Moss Icon, the Convocation Of... is the new project of frontman Tonie Joy, putting together some of the most excellent guitar work of the indie rock nature with a solid driving rhythm section. A full-length self-titled album on art punk label GSL further establishes them as one of... [+] Read More
Artist: Tom Hines
This hard-rocking multi-instrumentalist is an enormous part of the sound of Schroeder, whose self-titled CD was released in 2000. Tom Hines' connections with other better-known bands include his toiling on videos such as Bon Jovi's position-shifting "In and Out of Love" and Living Colour's centrist "Middle Man." There is also a Pete Best... [+] Read More
Artist: Reverend Edward W. Clayborn
Rev. Edward W. Clayborn (he is often listed as just Edward Clayborn, with the surname sometimes spelled Clayburn or Claeburn) billed himself as "the Guitar Evangelist," and indeed he was, singing a kind of blues gospel not unlike the work of the better known Blind Willie Johnson. A brilliant guitarist and slide player, Clayborn recorded some 40... [+] Read More

Artist: Buck
Buck first got its start in 1997, when singer Ted Fransson and drummer Richard Blank left the punk band they had been working with. They recruited bassist Mikey Lennartsson and guitarist Jacob Albinson and began playing their lo-fi pop to audiences around Sweden. In 2001 they recorded two albums, Your Guide to Better Lies and Hello Holland,... [+] Read More
Artist: Rick Harris
Not to be confused with the jazz brass player and vocalist of the same name, this Rick Harris gained favor with the shimmy-on-the-dancefloor crowd following his 1996 invitation to "Come in my Arms". What better course of action after that then to become involved with Jewel, including spearheading her regrettable album of original poetry. ~... [+] Read More
Artist: Howard David Johnson
This artist came up with a pretty far-out picture for the cover of an electronica compilation entitled This Is Trance Rave. Fans of this style may want to simply accept this appraisal since their eyes may be too blurry to judge the artwork themselves -- or maybe it looks even better that way. Howard David Johnson should not be mixed up with... [+] Read More
Artist: Eddie Johnson
If there is a better title for a CD then Middle Georgia High School: Thug World Chapter One, it will hopefully be kept on ice for the time when the meek finally inherit the earth. Eddie Johnson is one of the teen rappers whose performances light up this compilation, presenting clear evidence that although just about any high school is... [+] Read More
Artist: William Clark
This artist released Shakespeare in Song on the Brentwood label in 2002. The project, involving more than a dozen other instrumentalists and vocalists, was subtitled "Songs and Sonnets Celebrating the Bard." The William Clark behind this fine bit of scholarship is not the same one who plays blues harmonica in Chicago -- that one likes the... [+] Read More
Artist: Damien
This short-lived Swedish outfit is not to be confused with various other higher-profile bands named Damien, but is notable for releasing one of the earliest Scandinavian attempts at thrash metal via 1983's Requiem for the Dead EP. Subsequently, vocalist Tommie Agrippa and bassist Marty Marteen would resurface in better-known thrashers Hexenhaus,... [+] Read More
Artist: David Nelson
A phalanx of photographers exist with this name, all of whom better be careful traveling considering that the name David Nelson also made it onto the Homeland Security's "not allowed to fly" list. This David Nelson did intricate photography and computer graphics for an album entitled Circus by Not Drowning, Waving, and some travel might have... [+] Read More
Artist: Jim Reynolds
The name Jim Reynolds comes up in connection with a variety of events in recording history, some grand and some miniscule. In this case it was the team behind an album entitled Best of Lee Ritenour, despite apparent evidence that such a thing is an impossibility. Jim Reynolds, credited with writing the liner notes, would not agree at all with... [+] Read More
Artist: Harold Smith
Harold Smith worked closely with Jack Wood on a series of innovative, delightful sound effects for the '60s television series entitled and sometimes set in the Outer Limits. These guys' job description reads "all around noisemakers." Some of their efforts can be sampled on a GNP soundtrack collection, but needless to say it is better to just... [+] Read More
Artist: Jimmy Smith
Not to be confused with either the jazz organist or doo wop singer of the same name, this Jimmy Smith is a contemporary gospel arranger and writer who works with the Selah ensemble. He is part of a songwriting triumvirate with Laban Smith and Todd D. Smith, responsible for "By and By (We'll Understand It Better By and By)" -- possibly dealing... [+] Read More

Artist: Mickey Gregory
When it comes to arena rock, whether it is a Deep Purple reunion, a new project by guitar Godzilla Steve Morse, or the Climax Blues Band's River Sessions, no photographer captures a group's glory or a band's bravura better than Mickey Gregory. This is not the same person who played lead trumpet for Isaac Hayes. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide [+] Read More
Artist: James Figurine
Better known perhaps for his work in bands like the Postal Service and Dntel, James Figurine (or Jimmy Tamborello) was inspired to create his own techno-pop solo album while on tour through Germany. Enlisting vocal help from Erlend Øye and Jenny Lewis, among others, James Figurine's debut solo album, Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake, was... [+] Read More
